adamantine (ad-uh-MAN-teen, -tin) adjective
1. Unyielding or firm.
2. Like a diamond in hardness or luster.
I spent a mini-vacation in a friend's house and in writing my thank you note I nearly used the word to describe her to herself because she is a remarkable woman, but hesitated because of the one meaning "unyielding" that could mean inflexible and in some context might not be flattering.

How true! At a friend's library, I discovered a treasure, a comic-book version of Nietsche's biography and ouvre. I find it a good way of getting to know someone or something that you would not otherwise tackle because of the sheer volume of the literature.
